Happy April Fools from good old Geoffrey ChaucerTry to read these lines aloud without bursting into laughter; not much else to be 'foolish' about in the world today or is there? Bunnies can be foolish and fun on any day of the week.

"When that Aprill with his shoures sooteThe droghte of March hath perced to the roote,And bathed every veyne in swich licourOf which vertu engendred is the flour,Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breethInspired hath in every holt and heethThe tender croppes, and the yonge sonneHath in the Ram his halve cours yronne,And smale foweles maken melodye,That slepen al the nyght with open ye(So priketh hem nature in hir corages),Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,And palmers for to seken straunge strondes,To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;And specially from every shires endeOf Engelond to Caunterbury they wende,The hooly blissful martir for to seke,That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke."
